Columbia Center proudly supports the arts by offering a venue for both up-and-coming artists as well as those who are more established.

We especially hope to encourage talented yet unknown local artists who may be reluctant to exhibit their art in a private gallery to share their creations with the community. During all shows at the Columbia Center, artists are welcome to offer their pieces for sale or exhibit only.

The Gallery rotates their exhibits throughout the year with both open art exhibitions and special themed events which showcase particular art mediums or subject matter.
